… America is a “Christian nation” and that others need not apply for full citizenship. That it is a “White nation” and others need not apply. Those people also (in their own opinion) get to decide which flavor of Christianity is the “real” one — which is one of the many terrors of theocracy.

If enough Christians do all they can to restore their good name by speaking out, it will go a long way toward righting this ship. It’s one reason I don’t scorn those who preface their personal abortion sagas with, “I am a Christian,” because other Christians need to see and hear. That’s only one facet of speaking out. Another facet is to assert that the very words of Jesus call Christians to radical compassion, and health care for women certainly is that.

Meanwhile, lawsuits like these give me tremendous hope.
